Testo Make Mama Proud - Lil' Flip
Testo della canzone Make Mama Proud (Lil' Flip), tratta dall'album Undaground Legend
Finna read this rap right here man
Based on a true story
My life
In elementary I used crayons, beads and chalk
I learned to count money before I could read and talk
And my mama told me son you need to shine
I couldn't stand at the back I had to lead the line
I used to make good grades but I talked in class
In middle school I was late when I walked in class
If the teacher ran an errand I taught the class
And what I didn't know I was about to ask
And just because I play ball I got easy grades
And when I turned 13 I got even fades
Everybody wearing Air Max, 3's and J's
But all my parents cared about was B's and A's
In high school I picked up my pen and pad
I had dreams of pulling up in a Benz or Jag
I had to get it on my own I couldn't depend on dad
I had to grow up too fast but then I'm glad
Because the stuff I know now I wouldn't believe it
The main goals that I set I wouldn't achieve it
I'd probably be locked up or running the streets
I probably wouldn't have platinum in front of my teeth
I'd probably still be mopping trying to earn a dollar
I'd probably be in the hood selling sherm or powder
But instead I'm making bread legal though
Going to church and staying away from these evil folks
You only got one life you better do what you can
Cause when you turn 13 you are a man
And I can't be broke so I'mma rock the crowd
It's up to me I gotta make my mama proud
You only got one life you better do what you can
Cause when you turn 13 you are a man
And I can't be broke so I'mma rock the crowd
It's up to me I gotta make my mama proud
There's a place called heaven and a place called hell
There's a place called freedom and a place called jail
And if you go to jail they gon' treat you bad
Take your commissary and beat you bad
So I'm staying out of trouble I'm chasing my dreams
I know you see your little boy on TV screens
I'm blowing up your little boy making it happen
I ain't selling dope mama I'm making it rapping
So when you go to sleep at night you know I'm safe
Cause in Houston every day somebody catching a case
Like yesterday my partner went to jail
And he ain't coming home until he 57
He 19 so you do the math
I got smart man I choose to rap
So when I grow up my kids can have a good life
That's all I wrote yeah have a good night
You only got one life you better do what you can
Cause when you turn 13 you are a man
And I can't be broke so I'mma rock the crowd
It's up to me I gotta make my mama proud
You only got one life you better do what you can
Cause when you turn 13 you are a man
And I can't be broke so I'mma rock the crowd
It's up to me I gotta make my mama proud
I gotta make my mama proud
I gotta make my mama proud
I gotta make my mama proud
I ain't selling dope mama I'm making it rapping
